Has anyone used a garden incinerator that's worth using, or
is it best just to have a "bonfire"?

I have so much to dispose of, an incinerator would be impractical!


If it's not me having a "whoosh!", then what sir wants is a 45 gallon
oil drum, with one end removed, the other with a 10" diameter hole
cut in the middle, propped up on three or four bricks, small hole end
down. A bit of crumpled up newspaper put in, and some dry stuff, light
it, add a bit more dry-ish stuff, and you'll have a roaring furnace
that will consume further waste you put in (if it's sopping wet, then
don't try and burn it, the nuisance value is off the scale!). Look
out for wind blowing the tongue of flame (that shoots out of the top
of the thing like a blowlamp flame) towards you. Rake ash from under
before it clogs the air supply.


just been looking for a thread on incinerators and found this one so i
thought i'd better add to this rather than start another.

right, i've got a galvanised dustbin which i dont use since we've now
all got wheelie bins. is there any reason why i shouldnt load this up
full off wood etc. for a bonfire night fairly soon. most of the
incinerators that i've seen have holes in the bottom for air ciculation
etc., would it burn fairly well do you think without these circulaton
holes or am i just better off buying a proper incinerator bin?
